Vision and Outcomes
Children and young people feel self-confident and have high self-esteem. They know that their opinions are valued, that they influence decision-making, and that their achievements and contributions to their community are celebrated. Children and young people have places to go and positive things to do. They are satisfied with access and enjoy leisure and recreational facilities in their area. Young people engage in law-abiding and positive behaviour in and out of school and enjoy positive relationships with adults. They have the information, advice and guidance they need to make informed life choices.
Parents are confident in their parenting role and have access to affordable childcare when they want it.
